TASSA is a non- profit organisation which was established in 1994 – an association that promotes knowledge, skill and professionalism in the use and application of financial technical analysis, as an investment and trading decision support tool.

Technical insights can assist investors how and when to use “fundamentals”. Contrary to some beliefs, technicals are primarily a short-term trading tool. Investment industry professionals and private investors are discovering the power of Financial Technical Analysis to add to short and long term returns and risk performance. Technicals alone or used in conjunction with economic research, cycles, quant methods and fundamentals - can be a vital strategy tool – enabling an edge in selection, allocation, timing and risk management. Relativity of prices to other information is a powerful analytical and decision-making tool. TASSA endeavours to contribute to the investment industry.

TASSA holds presentation meetings or webinars most months. Presenters are typically investment or trader professionals who introduce financial technical analysis methods, systems and research platforms in the context of promoting better trading and investing. There are also presentations on market opportunities and risks, economic trends that impact investing, trader tools, electronic trading and measuring behavioural aspects related to trading and investment decisions.
